It's the blue wire hanging below the steering column.

Model year? It may go to the brake pressure differential switch behind it in the first pic.

It might go to 'A' if you have that switch.

Oil pressure sensor just above the oil filter. 77 uses a blue wire for it.
The thing that makes me think 77 is that there's no shift interlock cable, 77 was the first year without it and 78 and up have a different color wire. Most years use a tan wire for the brake failure light.

1976 blue wire is the oil pressure sender!
